Additionally, Heuerman is reminding drivers that the privilege of operating a vehicle requires full and unimpaired attention to ensure safe operation of that vehicle.
'Get a designated driver if your plans include possible intoxication, don't violate speed limits or otherwise drive recklessly, don't text and drive, and always buckle up!' Heuerman said in a press release.
The traffic detail was able to be carried out through federal highway safety funds distributed by the Illinois Department of Transportation and is part of the Illinois-wide 'Click It or Ticket' campaign.
